Vladivostok to Host Discussion on New Architecture of Global Trade at Open Dialogue

Vladivostok to Host Discussion on New Architecture of Global Trade at Open Dialogue

New Delhi [India], September 3: Leading international experts, including representatives from the UN and India, will gather in Vladivostok to discuss the creation of flexible and technologically independent trade institutions amid the transformation of the global economy.

The key issues of overcoming fragmentation and building a new, more equitable architecture for global trade will be the central theme of the expert convening “The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth” in Vladivostok. The event, dedicated to investments in interconnectedness, will bring together leading international specialists at the venue of Russia’s first branch of the National Centre “Russia” to develop practical solutions for rebooting the global trading system.

The Open Dialogue format, initiated by Russia on the instruction of President Vladimir Putin, is evolving into a sustainable ecosystem for generating and implementing breakthrough ideas that meet the challenges of the new era. The upcoming discussion will focus on strengthening Russia’s trade ties with the countries of the World Majority and forming alternative, pressure-resistant mechanisms of cooperation.

The global economy is undergoing profound changes caused by the protectionist and sanctions policies of Western countries, leading to an inevitable restructuring of all international trade mechanisms. As an expert in the “Investments in Interconnectedness” vector, Professor Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga of Complutense University of Madrid, noted ahead of the event: “Global trade is becoming fragmented, fast, and technology-driven. The need to create a fundamentally new architecture — more flexible, technologically independent, and resilient to external pressure — is more acute than ever.”

Special attention will be paid at the convening to the role of Global South countries and the need for regulatory harmonization. Rupa Chanda, Director of the Trade, Investment, and Innovation Division of the UN ESCAP, will fly from India to Vladivostok specifically to participate in the dialogue.

“It is important to understand what role existing trade agreements can play, what lessons they offer, and what preconditions are needed — for example, digital identities, common standards. The more countries that experiment, the higher the risk of regulatory fragmentation. Therefore, it is essential for Global South countries to work on regulatory convergence,” emphasized Rupa Chanda, who will present a report on overcoming fragmentation in global trade.

Another key speaker from India, Gulshan Sachdeva, Professor at the Jawaharlal Nehru University’s School of International Studies, shared his expectations for the upcoming dialogue: “I look forward to meeting all the experts and hope that our dialogue will be a valuable contribution to shaping the narratives concerning the rapidly changing global order.”

The work of the convening will be structured around three thematic panels, where experts will analyze transformation pathways in detail:

  • “Institutional Reboot”: Reforming trade mechanisms for a multi-vector economy;
  • “Technological Sovereignty”: Innovations in supply chains, financial settlements, and digital trade;
  • “Strategic Opportunities”: Forming new centers of trade attraction and expanding investment ties.

The discussion will be moderated by Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration.

Background:

The Open Dialogue is a flagship international platform initiated by Russia to foster a new platform for global growth. The first forum was held in April 2025 in Moscow, bringing together over 100 delegates from 48 countries.

Dr. G.P. Rao, Jury Chairman of the GIS Awards, lauded the progress being made in the DEI space while emphasizing the ongoing need for sustained effort and innovation. He also highlighted the depth and significance of the discussions, reaffirming our shared commitment to create more inclusive environments, both at work and in society.

Grey Launches Faster Rupee Payouts for Indians Earning Globally

Grey Launches Faster Rupee Payouts for Indians Earning Globally

Y Combinator-backed US fintech expands services to India with minutes-fast transfers that bypass traditional banking delays

SAN FRANCISCO, CA | Sep 2, 2025- Y Combinator-backed startup fintech Grey has expanded its services to India, now offering almost instant rupee payouts to serve Indians earning from international sources—from freelancers and entrepreneurs to students and expats sending money home, receiving support from family and managing cross-border finances.

The product expansion positions Grey, a US-licensed fintech, that serves over 2 million users across 50+ countries, as a major player offering comprehensive global banking services specifically designed for India’s digitally connected workforce, providing instant access to USD, EUR, and GBP accounts alongside local rupee conversions.

India processes over $125 billion in annual remittances, more than any country globally, yet most recipients still wait 3-5 business days and pay 3-7% in hidden fees for international transfers.

“Traditional banks treat international payments like it’s still 1995,” said Idorenyin Obong, Grey’s CEO, who spent time in Bengaluru meeting users “I talked to a freelance designer who was losing ₹15,000 monthly just on conversion fees and delays. That’s serious money.”

The timing reflects India’s growing global economic integration. The country has the world’s largest freelance market with over 15 million freelancers and approximately 3 million remote workers employed by foreign companies. Most still rely on traditional payment methods with multi-day delays, despite having clients primarily based in the US, UK, Australia, Europe, and South America.

Grey’s approach differs by providing users with actual US, European, and UK bank account details, allowing international clients to pay as if hiring locally, then instantly converting funds to rupees on the recipient’s end.

“We’re not just another remittance app,” Obong explained. “We’re giving Indians the same financial infrastructure that Americans and Europeans have which is instant access to global money.”

The launch positions Grey directly against established players in India, a market where cross-border payment companies have struggled with regulatory complexity and local banking partnerships.

Indian users can sign up immediately at grey.co. The service supports payouts from 170+ countries and includes virtual USD debit cards and USDC cryptocurrency deposits and payouts.

About Grey

Grey is at the forefront of providing secure and convenient global banking solutions to meet the needs of customers and businesses. Grey holds a Money Service Business license from FINTRAC in Canada, and FinCEN in the USA, and our primary focus is emerging markets. Our range of services enables individuals and businesses to easily own and manage multi-currency accounts. This includes currency exchange, sending and receiving payments to and from over 170 countries, as well as access to virtual cards.

Parishi Capital, India’s Future-Conscious Venture Firm: “India Needs Investors Who Back Vision, Not Just Valuations”

Parishi Capital, India’s Future-Conscious Venture Firm: “India Needs Investors Who Back Vision, Not Just Valuations”

New Delhi [India], August 31: With a commitment to sustainability and resilience, Parishi Capital champions founder-first investing as India enters its next phase of growth.

Parishi Capital, led by the visionary investor Aaryan Shah, isn’t about chasing the fastest returns or the biggest headlines. It’s about something deeper: backing vision, resilience, and responsibility at a time when India’s future depends on it. The firm is making bold yet thoughtful bets positioning itself at the heart of India’s economic transformation.

Parishi Capital is built on a legacy shaped by a family of entrepreneurs known as the “Recession Kings,” who steered businesses profitably through the global downturns of 2008, 2012, and even COVID-19. That legacy instilled a lasting belief: integrity, fundamentals, and long-term thinking matter far more than hype. Carrying this forward, Parishi Capital — named after founder Aaryan Shah’s sister as a symbol of trust and continuity — was created to redefine how venture capital can serve India’s future.

“In the next decade, India will decide whether it builds companies that endure or those that fade with market cycles,” says Aaryan. “Our job as investors is not to fuel hype but to amplify vision. Founders who think long-term — about sustainability, responsibility, and scalability — will be the true changemakers.”

“What I learnt early on is that businesses don’t fail because of markets; they fail because of fundamentals,” he says. “At Parishi Capital, our mission is simple: invest in people, not just spreadsheets. Founders with integrity and vision will always create lasting businesses”.

At Parishi Capital, this philosophy has become the firm’s guiding compass. Instead of focusing solely on valuations, Aaryan has built a founder-first model that provides entrepreneurs with capital, mentorship, and access to networks — ensuring they have both the resources and the resilience to grow responsibly.

“We invest in people, not just numbers,” he emphasizes. “A founder with integrity and clarity will always outlast market noise.”

Today, that philosophy has translated into a firm already making its mark in sustainability and climate-positive ventures. He believes the clean energy transition is not only urgent but inevitable — a place where profitability and responsibility converge. Beyond sustainability, Parishi Capital is also scouting opportunities across fintech, AI-driven businesses, and the rise of Tier-2 city ecosystems. His insights — from the opportunities in climate-positive ventures and the festive economy to the growing strength of regional hubs like Indore, Raipur, Ahmedabad, Surat and Lucknow — have positioned him as a thought leader among India’s new generation of investors.

His conviction is clear: India’s $80 billion green energy sector will be one of the defining growth engines of the nation’s economy. By backing climate-positive ventures, Parishi Capital is aligning itself with global imperatives while also reinforcing India’s national priorities.

Yet his eyes are firmly fixed on the future. “Our vision is to create more than a portfolio of companies,” he says. “It is to shape an ecosystem where responsibility and growth go hand in hand. The India we are building will not just chase unicorns; it will nurture businesses that solve real problems, scale sustainably, and inspire globally.”
